Sierra Sun Times - Sierra Artists Gallery 9th Annual Miniature Painting Show

Snow Play - Oil - $250 - Cathy Fleming - Mariposa, CA

Sierra Artists Gallery is having their 9th Annual Miniature Painting Show at the gallery, located at 6th street and Highway 140 in Historic Downtown Mariposa. The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M.

This year there are over 250 tiny little paintings from all over the United States, Canada and Europe. Magnifying glasses are provided for visitors to see the fine detail in the tiny masterpieces. Sizes range from just a few square inches to 25 square inches which is the maximum size allowed. Mediums include Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, Drawings, Color Pencils and 3d Sculpture Most of the paintings are for sale and priced, from $50 to $800 or more, for customers to buy.

The last day of the show is Sunday, March 29 with a reception from 1:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M..

It's a lot of work for such a small gallery to put on a show of this size. No pun intended.
Receiving, cataloguing, sorting, hanging, labeling and then shipping the miniatures, that don't sell, back in the same way they were sent.

Most of this work is done by Elizabeth Specht and Cathy Fleming.
